how do I edit what comes up on the GRUB display on boot?
Lucas Evans
I'm trying to install arch, but I don't feel like using wifi and can't use Ethernet. Is my phone's USB tethering going to just werk?
Gavin Parker
The names of the entries, their default parameters, the theme and the background can all be changed by editing grub.cfg in /boot. Grub-customiser is a good GUI for the same stuff
Tyler Morris
What are some cool terminal commands?
Thomas Morgan
cmatrix | sudo rm -r ~/

It's asking for my password, why?
Levi Richardson
Anyone know how to fix this? Running i3 and if I download something in firefox the dl window blows past the screen borders
Aiden Butler
Arch Linux is just a cool terminal command for daily use.
Jonathan Fisher
it's required because cmatrix is a root-command.
Jace Wright
hold alt + click window -> resize
Robert Young

I like i3.
Oliver Collins
Arch Linux is just a stepping stone.
John Mitchell
i3 is good in theory, garbage in practice. i3fags are too blinded by their sense of superiority (in the same way as emacstards) so i3 is sure to never be less buggy or less dysfunctional. Quit it or accept the fact it's shit.
David Rodriguez
well that's like you opinion man works for me :^)
Colton Torres
Default for window resize is $mod+r then hjkl
Benjamin Murphy
works for resizing horizontally, but how about vertically?
Jackson Hughes
Someone knows how to change the firefox scrollbar colors?
Parker Lee
I mean, I'm new to i3 so I guess I haven't experienced the problems you say there is, but for what I do I haven't experienced any problems besides little learning curves from my lack of experience.
Dominic Nelson
Why was Linux 4.9 so long, and went up to 4.9.13, but Linux 4.10 is less than a month old and they're already working on 4.11?
Blake Lee
how do I make my desktop look like this?
Jonathan Cox
Thoughts on alpine? The site says it supports building from source in a way similar to gentoo, but it's never correctly described. Are there USE flags, CFLAGS, LICENSE, etc.? What about package count? Can it easily deal with arbitrary tarballs with proper package management hooks? Are packages stable in the sense of gentoo, as opposed to debian? Are upgrades painless?
Charles Reed
What's a good use for a athlon desktop for linux?

I actually use it a lot specially for Sup Forums. Anyways do you know what class or id I have to edit with stylish to change it?
this just made me remember, seeing cool desktops like that in the desktop threads made me realize how much power a user can have over his system that's the sole reason I started using GNU/Linux in the first place
I'm sure that's true for a lot of other people
rip desktop threads
Carson Turner
In this era of the smooth and polished Apple operating systems, and remarkably stable and secure choices in the Windows world, who the hell wants to run Linux and why?
Bentley Peterson
can anyone recognize the font there?

Moving them to /wg/ was a bad move. /wg/ is for wallpapers. I realized that when I made a /wg/ parser to get some random wallpapers from /wg/ and was presented with a desktop screenshot. ;_;
desktop threads are Sup Forums related and should come back. I srsly miss checking nice desktops and sharing configs...
thanks for reading my blog
John Lopez
still, it impressed me when I was a winfag enough to make the switch

Levi Green
in a couple of years at most, when those gay pedophile mods fuck off, we'll definetely see desktop threads return
Grayson Reyes
Check out /r/unixporn, it's nice, sadly you'll have to deal with stupid people and macfagging.
Nolan Evans
desktop thread were a part of Sup Forums since the beginning, newfag
Dominic Walker
Thanks for demonstrating the fact that you are a recent-wave tumblr invader.
Jacob Allen
lmao, someone used my ansi rms >tfw nice
Charles Lopez
>replacing Sup Forums desktop threads with unixporn no
Logan Cook
I think desktop threads and /fglt/ are the only reasons why I come back to this dump.
Leo Jones
well fug :DD
Lincoln Allen
Tumblr hates loli.
David Thomas
Desktop threads were banned because some fag some day spammed like 50 desktop threads, then mods put desktop threads on autopurge.
They weren't removed because any other reasons, so it's time to ask our fellow mods to re-allow them.
Ryan Reyes
this, there were 2 threads I was coming here for, now there's just one sadly

Anyone wanna help me get Debian installed on my old Powermac G4?
It's pretty much already installed, I can boot into a terminal and use everything normally in that aspect.
However, when I try to start gdm, lightdm, or just X in general, I get a black screen.
It has a nvidia card. I have the nouveau driver installed...
Connor Cook
If Sup Forums would follow the sticky, /fglt/ wouldn't exist too. Basically all current Sup Forums threads are against the rules.
Austin Gomez
>comparing desktop threads with unixporn end yourself you aids infested cunt
Gabriel Diaz
Exactly, and that's a huge, huge fucking problem because there hasn't been a single relevant Sup Forums threads in YEARS. FUCKING YEARS.
Jace Hill

Michael Reyes

Matthew Perez
Sage negated
Daniel Williams
what the fuck are you on about? where does it say that desktop threads are not allowed?
Julian Walker

Isaiah Robinson
it doesn't, it's just that some faggots would keep posting new desktop threads before the other ones bumped out and it must have annoyed the mods
Jaxon Diaz
shit for desktops okay for embeded devices
Nathaniel Cruz
How so?
Adrian Johnson
Does she want to fug?

anyone using audacious knows how to stop it from reading .cue files as a playlist? When I play an album that has a .cue file it adds duplicates of all songs.

Two things.
Using nano here. Got the syntax coloring working, but I want to change the numbering color from white to it's default (background color of nano) and the color of indentation back to what it was, default (like numbering).
Managed to get into the nanorc.nanorc file but I can't understand the syntax.
Grayson Campbell
why would you use busybox on a desktop?
Ayden Rivera
Settings belong in ~/.nanorc do you have that file?
Julian Davis
its a dude you homo piece of human garbage
Benjamin Kelly
I thought it was a loli
Dominic Torres

Nicholas Jones

Isaiah Thomas

Ayden Russell
i use busybox on my desktop in my initramfs for a small recovery shell
Adam Peterson
nice blogpost
Anthony Young
I found a block that's commented out (above the blocked out section on syntax coloring), that says "Paint the interface elements of nano." Is this the right place?
